Lindsey Vonn is in “stable condition” after undergoing surgery to treat a fracture in her left leg following her crash in the downhill final on Sunday, which brought her Olympic dream to an end.
According to the Associated Press, the surgery was performed at the Ca’ Foncello hospital in Treviso on the same leg that Vonn “completely ruptured” her ACL in a January 30 crash in Crans-Montana, Switzerland.
The American burst out of the start in Sunday’s final but caught a gate with her right arm after just 13 seconds, sending her tumbling down the slope to a halt.
I kept thinking about that lady in Arizona that got airlifted and the stretcher she was out started spinning out of control! Good thing there was someone there to stabilize her!
